Response to setting up a darkroom

While Thomas's advice is sound, with reasonable precautions a kitchen is fine. All kitchens are laid out differently but one thing I did was to use some peices of 3/4 plywood laid over the tops of the counters to provide a "stage" to put my trays and work on, its a barrier for spills and accidents also. Try to plan a "wet side" and a "dry side", there are many books on this. Keep your chemicals clearly marked and away from food areas. The only real difficulty is getting the room dark enough, there are all kinds of materials to use for this and printing at night helps. If your just doing B&W its not really difficult nor really expensive to do. good luck.
